I also torqued mine to 100 ft/lb with the ARP assembly lubricant they provided with the bolt - if you don't use the thread lubricant then I think the value might differ. I wasn't sure if you were trying to use a stock bolt or not.For those that have installed an ATI balancer, what torque specs did you use to torque it down with the balancer bolt? I don't recall seeing a final torque spec in the instructions. Thanks in advance for the help!
I haven’t heard of anyone having a bolt loosen up on them but I have seen of a couple issues where the balancer wasn’t seated completely and damaged a crank. It can appear that the bolt loosened where intact the balancer wasn’t installed properly.Alot of people have had issues with the ARP bolt loosening over time.
I torqued to either 120 or 130ftlbs with blue loctite. No loosening problems over 20k miles.
Yes that is a separate issue. Since the ATI is very tight if its not installed perfectly it can break the crank apparently. Best way to install it is oil the crank snout and heat up the balancer before installing. I used a small Propane torch and it went on buttery smooth.I haven’t heard of anyone having a bolt loosen up on them but I have seen of a couple issues where the balancer wasn’t seated completely and damaged a crank.
